ronl Posted February 4, 2010 Share #1 Posted February 4, 2010 Was digging in my closet tonight and found this. I take it that it was a custom tailored officer's Ike jacket. It seems as though there was never any insignia or rank pinned to the jacket. Only thing is the green felt attached to the epaulets and a cut edge 29th ID patch. What does the green felt signify? One web site I visited stated that some senior officers had their ike jackets custom made. Anyone here verify that? I can't remember where I got the jacket and I've had it for years.

Johan Willaert Posted February 4, 2010 Share #2 Posted February 4, 2010 The green tabs are Combat Leadership tabs worn on the epaulettes by Officers from late WW2 onwards. Enlisted Men wore a green strip under the chevrons on the sleeves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
